That’s the heart of my new series. The good guy starts out on an adventure to stop the bad guy. Over the course of the journey we learn that the bad guy is the good guy and that the good guy has been helping the supposed good guys who are actually the bad guys. The good guy kills the bad guy who is actually the good guy and now the good guy, realizing what he has done must turn “bad”to fight the good guys who are revealed to be the bad guys. In the end the good guy now turned bad must slaughter his old friends on the good guy side who are now the bad guys and then live with the consequences of the truth that turned him and the consequences of her actions. Moral relativeism for beginners wrapped in a utopia/space opera. Should be 4-5 books

I wish someone would write a book in this style. The hero starts by fighting the Nazis, then when he almost won he sees the truth he joins the Nazis in fighting the Jews. Then when the Jews are nearly destroyed, the truth is revealed and the hero, Hitler and the elder Rothschild together make a stand against lizard people in the final fight. TTGL-style. Bonus points for using maximal amount of offensive stereotypes for all sides.
